    “...” Qin Muye had a black line on his forehead, feeling quite exasperated inside.


    “Besides that, the Sea Dragon King’s Talent was also exposed, called Ocean Survival, which allows him to gain Survival Points every day to continuously evolve ships, Treasures, and so on.”


    “The other party obtains Treasures, Troop types, rewards, and even Resources that can be multiplied by ten thousand times, recruiting a single Skeleton Soldier can yield ten thousand Skeleton Soldiers, but only at the cost of one.”


    “By the way, how much profit can we make if we only charge the cost price of the materials?” Qin Muye said, suddenly remembering this.


    “Good, so how did the negotiations with the True Dragon Emperor go?” Qin Muye asked again.


    “It’s possible, but the demands also need to be modified; all Lord powers of rank 4 and below in the Wasteland City, Zombie Kingdom, and Rich Ocean are to be ours. The number of troops provided for escorts must be ten times the original base, and the materials cost is given at cost price.”


    “Dragons? That’s not a small project. What about the materials cost? Will the True Dragon Emperor pay for it?” Qin Muye frowned slightly. If it was the physique of an ordinary person, or even a little higher, like that of a Spirit Monster, it would be somewhat manageable. But with dragons typically the size of houses or palaces, and needing a hundred thousand such pieces, this was no small matter.


    “It’s not like that, Master. These two have become mortal enemies, so this time Rich Ocean and Wang Junzi intervened, but he only targeted the Sea Dragon King,” Black Hand said.


    “If they refuse, then reveal that I am developing a new type of Armor that can adapt to oceanic conditions and is even more durable than before, capable of withstanding harsh environments better.”


    “If you, Master, are willing to make the deal, all expenses will be paid by the True Dragon Emperor, and he will also pay you a handsome processing fee. However, he has requirements too, which are that in the future, this Stone Ghost Armor can only be provided to him, purchased at the normal price,” Black Hand said immediately.


    “The Slaughter is secondary; the main things are various biological samples, Knowledge in books, and so on. These are the crucial points. If possible, try to preserve a ship; I want to see what’s different between this ship and our territory.”


    “That’s too little, we need to make at least an 80% profit, otherwise it’s hard to even break even,” Qin Muye confirmed.


    “Yes, Master,” Black Hand naturally took this to heart.


    “Yes, Master,” seeing this, Black Hand did not continue to say anything and directly left.


    “So, Wang Junzi took an interest in the Sea Dragon King’s Ghost Ghost Ship, then the Sea Dragon King suffered a loss which then led to this revelation, and only after did Wang Junzi retaliate?” Qin Muye inquired, as it could not be such a coincidence otherwise.


    “So, what is the True Dragon Emperor’s Talent? It can’t be stronger, can it? Otherwise, how could it suppress these heaven-defying Talents?”


    “I understand, you may go,” Qin Muye mused to himself.


    “Is the news confirmed?” Qin Muye’s expression changed, showing some excitement.


    Qin Muye’s thoughts, however, diverged, as if he were truly just an extra.


    In an instant, Qin Muye understood that the True Dragon Emperor also wanted to monopolize; other Lords wanting to enter Wasteland City and Zombie Kingdom would have to endure hostile environments, but if the True Dragon Emperor wasn’t afraid, then the resources of these two servers could all fall into his pocket.


    If yielding some profits could lead to greater gains, Qin Muye naturally didn’t mind. He could further upgrade the counterfeit Stone Ghost Armor, like adding Underwater Breathing capability, which was essentially the function of extracting oxygen from water, then increasing the Magic Shield and defensive power to 300 points was also feasible.


    Three days ago, he finished testing the Stone Statue Ghost Armor and then had the Spirit Monsters work overtime to produce ten thousand pieces. It wasn’t difficult for the Spirit Monsters, as it was an assembly line process; all the repetitive mechanical labor was done by the Skeleton Soldiers, and the Spirit Monsters handled the technical positions.


    Even if a Crimson Hell blast went off, the enemy’s sixth-order might be able to withstand it, but if it hit their subordinate territories, it was easy pickings, arriving to find nothing but a pile of radiating Ruby villages.


    In fact, they were produced in just one day, not to mention due to their large numbers and unity.


    He was really short on cash; he might be a big dog, but the True Dragon Emperor was the real tycoon. Not raising the base price would be wasting such an excellent opportunity.


    Now that the matter was settled, Qin Muye naturally had to start preparing.


    Perhaps the resources obtained from the battle wouldn’t even be enough for his needs.


    Frankly, investigating these Lords’ Talents and Attributes wasn’t an easy task, as they almost all had Treasures that concealed Attributes, and unless things really came to a head, spying was not an option.


    Therefore, Qin Muye was puzzled; the opposition was a Divine Authority System, but without a Divine being, one couldn’t possibly worship loneliness.


    That’s why Qin Muye’s Crimson series military hardware sold so well.


    He didn’t care about Qin Muye’s earnings; though he was domineering in his actions, he had a sense of the bigger picture. Snatching profits from an arms dealer like Qin Muye, and if by chance it caused a delay, the loss wouldn’t be just a bit of profit, but a greater benefit.


    After all, although Qin Muye’s reputation might have been poor, the quality of his military hardware was genuinely good.


    In combat against other servers, the True Dragon Emperor also preferred to use the Crimson series of military hardware, especially the heat weapons series. With just simple training, the damage from a distance immediately increased exponentially.


    This version of the Stone Ghost Armor was naturally not the original edition created by Qin Muye, but a knockoff, one with only a 100-point Magic Shield and 100-point defensive power.


    This time, heading to the Rich Ocean for the expedition, Qin Muye placed greater value on the Ocean-based Divine Authority System of the region.


    In doing business, one always starts by quoting a high price and then negotiates down; after all, outright purchase is invariably rare.


    He had previously wanted to destroy a fourth-tier territory, but with the True Dragon Emperor playing so big and even aiming for a monopoly, Qin Muye was ready to match him all the way.


    As for Qin Muye, he wasn’t afraid of exposure at all. The Talents on him, that is, Learning Ability and Academic Research combined, had a profound effect. All other Talents were essentially derivatives of these two Talents, and even the Crimson Ancestor and the Lord of Hell couldn’t compare with them.
